BMW US Sales Flat for January
The big winner for February is (unsurprisingly) the X5 with sales up 22% over February of 2012. Also up (and hopefully stabilized) is the F10 5 Series. And finally it\'s nice to see the 6 Series, a car we\'ve reviewed very positively, doing well. On the downside are a couple surprises. The F30 3 Series is fully launched with xDrive yet it continues to show up and down figures month after month. We\'d guess this has something to do with the Coupe and Convertible being long in the tooth and the lack of incentives last month compared to 2012 when BMW was clearing out E90s. It also makes you wonder how BMW plans on reporting model sales when they move the 3er Coupe and Convertible to the 4 Series model classification.

We obsessively watch the 10-day weather projections desperate for more temperate conditions on the horizon. There\'s an itch on our backsides that only a motorcycle in motion can scratch.
